Ayres Sasaki, a 35-year-old Brazilian rock musician, tragically passed away in a freak on-stage accident during a live concert. During a performance in Salinopolis, Brazil, the singer was electrocuted by a wet fan who hugged him. Everyone present was in shock at the tragic event.
Police are looking into the incident, but it’s still unclear how the fan got wet. “We are reaching out to people who were with him at that moment to understand how everything happened,” Ayres Sasaki’s aunt Rita Matos stated. We’re going to gather all the data and issue a press release.
The singer’s family was promised full support by the Solar Hotel, the venue where the concert was held, along with their condolences. “We are deeply committed to providing assistance to his family and taking appropriate measures,” the statement read.
Ayres Sasaki was a skilled architect and urban planner when she wasn’t performing. After only 11 months of marriage, he departs from Mariana, his wife. “He was extremely talented, very charismatic, and the best guitarist and singer in Belem,” said close friend Adriano Freitas.
The music business is in mourning for Ayres Sasaki, a gifted musician whose life was sadly cut short. I hope his soul is at peace.
16-pound giant baby made headlines in 1983. Now he’s all grown up and still famous for is size
When 24-year-old Patricia Clarke fell pregnant in 1983, she had more than just a feeling that her child was going to be on the large side.
She’d already had one baby, and knew that big babies ran in her family. That said, she could never have expected just how huge the child she was carrying would turn out to be.
Patricia gave birth to Kevin Robert Clark, who epically weighed in at more than 16 pounds. At the time, he was not just the biggest baby ever born at Community Memorial Hospital, but perhaps the largest baby in the state of New Jersey.
He couldn’t fit into a standard sized crib, and his baby clothes were too small for him, but Kevin was – much to the relief of his parents – perfectly healthy.
Naturally, it wasn’t long before his size was noticed. He made headlines across the country, not only inspiring a segment on “Saturday Night Live”, but also getting a mention on “Good Morning America”.
Start as you mean to go on
But Kevin wasn’t done stealing the spotlight there. According to the New York Post, by the time he was 12 he stood 5 foot 7. By junior high he was 6 foot 5. From there, he just kept continuing to grow.
“There isn’t a day that goes by when someone doesn’t ask me how tall I am,” Kevin told the Post.
“I like to joke that I’m 5-foot-21. When people ask if I play basketball, I ask them if they play miniature golf.”
Today, Tom is 35-years-old. He’s a former military man who lives with is 6-foot tall wife and their Great Dane.
He’s more than learned to live with the fact he’s bigger than virtually everyone else. In fact, he takes it in his massive stride. These days, Tom is 6 feet 9 inches tall.

It can’t be easy to quite literally be born into the limelight, nor to grow up with people pointing at you and asking questions the majority of the time. That said, Kevin seems to be handling it just fine … we wish him all the best moving forward!
